The police seized 28 grams of MD drugs, valued at approximately Rs 5.60 lakh, according to multiple reports.
Police Operation and Arrest
The investigation began after police received a tip-off about the sale of MD drugs through social media platforms, including Snapchat and WhatsApp. Acting on the information, the Kashimira Police team, supervised by DCP Zone-1 Rahul Chavan, planned a trap using a decoy customer.
A man identified as Kasif was allegedly called near Thakur Mall in the Dahisar Check Naka area to deliver 28 grams of MD. Police arrested Kasif during the alleged transaction, and during questioning, he reportedly named Mehdi as his supplier.
Following this, officers arrested Mehdi outside a studio in Malad, where he was reportedly shooting at the time.

Legal Proceedings
After his arrest, Mehdi was produced before a court, which sent him to five days of police custody. He has been named as the main accused in FIR No. 437/2026.
The investigation is focused on tracing the alleged drug network and determining whom Mehdi may have supplied drugs to.
